  • Yeah that all sounds good until you realize there aren’t hundreds of people willing to a) murder bad people and b) sacrifice their lives for it.

    You might say the military is full of people who somewhat fit this description but that can only exist through millennia of false narratives about honor and nationalism. The fact that Luigi’s action was controversial illustrates the difference perfectly. How many times have you seen a reaction anything like that to a war crime committed by a soldier somewhere in the Middle East? You barely even saw reactions when we saw videos of people laughing while killing innocent people from a helicopter.


  • Sure act like trump. That’s the solution. Next you should close your borders entirely.

    Some vaccines that may be possible but I can’t imagine it would be cheap even if you could check for the 20+ vaccines I’ve had.

    Your motivation seems to be to punish good people for Trump’s actions. Pretty fucked up, petty, pointless, and unproductive if you ask me.


  • We (US) don’t even have a vaccine record system to my knowledge. I’ve had many vaccines starting from birth but the only record I have in the vast majority of cases is knowing it in my head. I remember getting a few like MMR (measles mumps rubella) vaccines as a young child, but there’s almost zero chance I could prove that.

    Hell, the only reason I even know what I have gotten as an adult is I made a list a while back from memory and then confirmed what I could with doctors visit records.

    Your idea would keep me, a fully vaccinated individual, out of Europe. A place I want to escape to eventually.




  • Thanks! Yeah, for me it’s that I have a bad memory so memorizing argument orders and things like that felt painful. Scripting is the solution! And you learn while you do it. It’s actually kind of fun to make a solid script that works between various OSes as nerdy as that is. I’ve taken a lot of typing and memorization and turned it into writing (ideally solid) software that allows me to type 1-3 words instead of 20 words. It’s satisfying. And you’re right, it’s something people won’t get until they come to it on their own terms.

    At work I routinely do laborious tasks the rest of my team procrastinates due to how repetitive and annoying it is. And often it’s with a command or two. It feels quite powerful. And it’s so flexible how you can combine languages and tools! It’s also just interesting to be reminded how all the basic problems were solved by the 1970s when a lot of these tools were created.
